India stands at a fascinating demographic crossroads. While the world applauds us as the youngest major nation today, the foundations of a much older India are quietly taking shape.

Wooden benches, a blackboard, the soft haze of chalk dust, and the ringing of the school bell — that was our entire world. There were more some forty children in our class. Today, the education department has

A delightful message has been circulating on WhatsApp lately. A child was asked what he wanted to become when he grew up. His answer was surprising: I don’t want to be a doctor, or an engineer, or an officer, or a minister… I want to be a grandfather! And he had plenty of reasons for

There is a unique joy in sitting with people of our own age. Old memories come alive, forgotten stories resurface, and we relive moments that once defined us. In those hours, life seems to turn its pages backward — laughter fills the air, and time pauses for a while. Yet, one thing we must remember
